In reciting the verse, \u201cYih\u2019yu l\u2019ratzon<\/i>\u2026,\u201d (\u201cMay the expressions of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before You, Hashem, my Rock, and my Redeemer\u201d), which is said after the blessing for shalom<\/i>, we end the main part of the Amidah<\/i>. Therefore, if one hears Kaddish<\/i> or Kedushah <\/i>while he is between the berachah<\/i> and that verse, he may not answer, because that verse is part of the Amidah<\/i> (Shulchan Aruch<\/i> and Rama<\/i> 122:1).<\/p>\n

However, from the beginning of Elokai netzor<\/i> until the second time Yih\u2019yu l\u2019ratzon<\/i> is recited, one is permitted to respond to Kaddish<\/i>, Kedushah<\/i>, Barchu<\/i>, and Modim<\/i> \u2013 like the law regarding one who is in the middle of Birkot Keriat Shema<\/i> \u2013 because the person praying has already concluded the main part of the Amidah<\/i>. Nevertheless, since he did not entirely finish the prayer, he is prohibited from answering Amen<\/i> after berachot<\/i> or anything similar (Shulchan Aruch<\/i> there; and see Hilchot Birkot Keriat Shema<\/i> 16:5).<\/p>\n

As we have learned, it is in this section that one may extend his supplication and requests as much as he desires, like it is said about Rabbi Akiva, that when he would pray individually he would prolong his prayer with supplications following the Amidah<\/i> (see Berachot<\/i> 31a).[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Upon the conclusion of the prayers of supplication, the person praying recites Yih\u2019yu l\u2019ratzon<\/i> again and takes three steps backwards. If he cannot step backwards because the person behind him is still praying, even though he has not yet departed from the Amidah<\/i>, he may respond aloud to any matter of sanctity, even \u201cBaruch Hu u\u2019varuch Shemo<\/i>,\u201d since he already finished the supplications after the Amidah<\/i>. Similarly, he is permitted to continue praying, reciting Ashrei<\/i> and Aleinu L\u2019Shabe\u2019ach<\/i>, or he may recite Psalms or learn Torah (see further in this chapter, halachah 20).<\/p>\n

[8]<\/a>.\u00a0According to the Gra<\/i>, Yih\u2019yu l\u2019ratzon<\/i> is not recited before Elokai netzor<\/i>, so that all the prayers of supplication will be included in the Amidah<\/i>, and in his opinion, therefore, we do not respond to Kaddish<\/i> and Kedushah<\/i> there. However, according to the Rama<\/i>, even when it is not customary to recite Yih\u2019yu l\u2019ratzon<\/i> before Elokai netzor<\/i>, we do, indeed, respond to Kaddish<\/i> and Kedushah<\/i> in the prayers of supplication. When we do say Yih\u2019yu l\u2019ratzon<\/i> before the prayers of supplication, we do not respond to Kaddish<\/i> and Kedushah<\/i> before the verse, although we do answer after it. The Mishnah Berurah<\/i> 122:3 writes that it is good to say Yih\u2019yu l\u2019ratzon<\/i> before Elokai netzor<\/i> and after it, and that is the minhag<\/i>. Therefore, one may not respond to Kaddish<\/i> and Kedushah<\/i> before the first Yih\u2019yu l\u2019ratzon<\/i>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
